Does anyone have one of these?

It's getting to be that time of year when the garage-less must trudge outside extra early to start the car to defrost the windows. Enter the Blue Heat, a remotely controlled car heater that doesn't require running the engine.
According to Webasto, the device heats the coolant and sends it to the heat exchanger, which then warms the car. The heater works by remote or can be set on a timer, and burns one- eighth of the fuel required by running the engine.
Sounds like a nice idea that should be incorporated into high-end vehicles (I remember Audi offering something similar), but even the environmentally-concerned may have a tough time forking over $1,595 for this professionally installed option.
